Adoptions Information
Thank you for choosing Killeen Animal Services as your choice for adoption of your newest family member. There is never a shortage of pets in need of loving responsible homes. It is important that you consider what type of pet you are wanting to bring in to your home as a lifelong companion. Research the breed, energy level, size, maintenance and cost of ownership before considering adoption. Persons wishing to adopt an animal are required to present a government-issued photo identification (ID) card or water bill. You do not need to be a resident of Killeen to adopt, but you must present a verifiable ID and address.
The following fees apply to adoptions:
Microchip fee (all animals): $15
Adoptions: $40
A contract agreement must also be signed requiring the adopting person to have the animal vaccinated against rabies and have unsterilized animals spayed or neutered in compliance with city ordinance.
